About me

Hi there, my name is Scott and I am a web developer and designer currently living and working in Phoenix, AZ. My passion is finding ways to make the web a better place through code and an eye for detail. I enjoy the continual learning process necessary to work in perpetually advancing web technologies.

A large focus of mine is responsive design and user experience. It goes without saying these days, but for many years I have felt the web should be accessible, usable and beautiful wherever it is viewed.

curriculum vitae

Education

BA Visual Communications

Collins College

3 Years

August 2000 - May 2003

I moved to Tempe, AZ in the summer of 2000 and started studying graphic design after burning out on programming. A few years later, these two fields would collide and I ended up doing both as my interest in the web grew. Design comes much harder for me than coding so I believe my career has been well served by pursuing this degree.

Computer Science

University Of Texas

1 Year

August 1998 - December 1999

I studied Computer Science for a year at the College of Natural Sciences at UT in Austin. I was debating which of my interests to pursue after high school, art or programming, and decided my future would be better served with a degree in a field of technology. After a year of non-stop coding I decided to switch fields to something more artistic so I enrolled in a graphic design school.
